There are some ways that you can make money from home. Besides the already mentioned garage sales/ebay sales you can do freelance work if your required profession allows for it. You may have a hobby like painting/or writing...why not try to find work from home opportunities? I also make money online with various websites that pay me to do surveys or by clicking on ads. Sometimes you can do telemarketing for various companies if you have a home phone and internet access. They send you the database and you make the calls.
Anyone else have any experiences or ideas?
